Copia headcanons

Some of these are common fanon I agree with I think. Also some of these are me projecting onto him lol (though some are opposite of me). If any of this contradicts canon it's probably because I forgot what's canon

He's AuDHD but the presentation where autism is more prominent. He's self-diagnosed because the ministry doesn't tend to do therapists or anything like that

He's bisexual. It was never a big deal for him because he was raised in the ministry and although they have some very bad/toxic aspects they're pretty good with queer stuff most of the time

He knows who his mom is. She told him as a young adult. They never talked about it again. He doesn't know who his dad is but kind of subconsciously knows

His main special interests are rats and retro video games. He has 3 pet rats. They're all female rats. He likes Pokemon games a lot. He names his rats after different rodent pokemon like rattata, patrat, etc. The absolute newest system he'll touch are DS and Wii era. Usually much older than that. He has quite a few different consoles. The 3d on the 3ds gave him a headache and he never noticed the slider to turn it off so he gave it to Terzo (very ADHD) who shoved it in a pile of crap and forgot about it. That was the last brand new one he bought. He also has a secondary special interest in movies

He's not super great at using newer technology and doesn't really care for it. He doesn't like changes with that kind of thing so he still uses older stuff he's had for a long time like his record player and 8 track (he uses the record player mostly hence forgetting how to use the 8 track). He resents essentially needing to to have a smartphone to participate in modern society and probably forgets it all the time, or breaks it. He gets some shitty cheap or old one that doesn't last long.

He's had the same work laptop for like, a decade. He's paid way more to computer repair shops getting it fixed or parts upgraded various times (he takes care of it unlike his phone but of course batteries only last a few years, etc) then it would have been to get a new one. He doesn't have to use it that much though the ministry as a whole tends to be lower tech then the rest of society because they skew older (although there are plenty of younger people there as well)

Disordered eating mention: he has some arfid-like sensory and executive function issues around food that flare up when he's stressed and during those times he tends to mostly drink things with calories instead of eating very much

He likes vestibular stims like riding his trike which he's done since he was young, swingset, and he wishes they would make an adult size sit and spin

He has a LOT of different comfort objects like rat plushies, the things you see in his room (all his decorations he's had for a zillion years. his kitten poster he's had since he was an actual child), stim toys like wacky tracks, etc. He likes ones that make clicky noises and sometimes doesn't realize it's not a good time for that in public

The full Papa facepaint and robes are kind of a sensory issue but not to the point where it's unbearable or anything.

He has like 10 of the red tracksuit but he wears different shirts under it that we just haven't seen. He does have like 3 of the vvulgari shirt. it's a particularly good fabric. He also has some band shirts

He mostly likes music that came out in the 80s and 90s, but listens to some newer music too. Pretty diverse genres. He likes metal from the 80s but also pop and whatever random music he happens to like

Some people teased him growing up so he's insecure about his looks/has some body dysmorphia issues (hence getting plastic surgery)

He LOVES being on stage and preforming but it's overstimulating and wipes him out. he can sometimes have meltdowns and shutdowns on tour because of it

He likes cats and bunnies but not a special interest like rats

NSFW mention: He didn't lose his virginity until he was like 30 or something, but he made up for lost time after that and has had quite a few casual partners in his life. He hasn't had a lot of serious/long term relationships because he struggles with communication in relationships, and excessive masking to the detriment of the relationship. He also is pretty introverted and his need for independence and time alone could clash with partners. He's a switch but leans toward sub

Happy disability pride month to those with GERD/acid reflux

It’s cruel to put autistic people into situations where they are having meltdowns frequently. Meltdowns are extremely traumatic. No one should have to go through that on a weekly or even daily basis. For some autistic people some amount of meltdowns are inevitable living in our NT-oriented world, but frequent meltdowns are a sign something is very wrong and the person’s environment needs to be changed.
